What the document holds

TI-España policy paper (Dec 2023, 31 pp.): Ley 14/2013 rules; MAEC FOI data on investor visas 2013 - 18 Sep 2023 (total, top 11 nationalities, real-estate shares, peak year 2021); Ministry of Inclusion FOI data on investor authorisations 1 Jan 2017 - 31 Mar 2022 (initial, renewed, administrative silence by nationality, Russian investment total); EU-wide and TI-2018 figures; UK Tier 1 and Portugal context; 2023 bill. Out of scope: 51,829/47,262/99,091 authorisations and their nationality top-5 lists, which cover all Ley 14/2013 categories (entrepreneurs, highly qualified, researchers...), not only investors; the 18,000 Chinese officials figure (not programme-specific). Note the paper gives the initial authorisation as 2 years (p. 9) and 3 years (p. 14); both kept.
